From the
Editor
Well, it’s time to get
another issue of the Roosevelt News—East Coast Edition on line. We have had a very busy month since we posted
the last edition. First, let me say that
Mike’s vision is improving which we are very thankful for. He had a second injection in the eye on June
10. The doctor said the scan showed less
fluid than the earlier scan. Mike says
the vision has continued to improve. He
goes back for another scan and evaluation on July 8. He expects that he will probably have to have
another injection. The doctor has said
that as long as there is any fluid he will continue to give him an injection
every 4 weeks. Mike is back doing most
everything he was before this all started.
He is working on trying to let things stress him less which is probably
a key along with the work of the medicine from the injections.
We spent a little over a
week on an RV trip to
We enjoyed our time in
Our trip home was eventful
as well. When we woke the second
morning, Mike went out as always to check everything in preparation to hit the
road again. He found a very flat tire on
our tow car. This was a new experience
for us after traveling over 40,000 miles with the RV. But as usual, Mike was prepared. He had bought an electric compressor when we
got the RV just in case we ever had a flat on the RV. He hooked it up to the power of the RV, blew
the tire up, and after stops at the next two exits we found a Goodyear tire
store. It had plenty of room in the
parking lot for us to get in and they fixed the flat. We were then off about 3 hours later than planned
but after a long day made it back home.
Since returning home Mike
received his CPAP machine to help with his Sleep Apnea. He is working so hard to adjust to it. The first night wasn’t too bad but the second
night was almost more than he could take.
He believes he has figured out what the problem is so we are hoping that
with some changes to the settings on the machine, it will get better.
I have spent way too much
time watching the College Baseball World Series and the World Cup Soccer
games. Now, you may ask, “Why would
Carolyn spend time on either of those two things?” Well, first both are sporting events and
there are very few that I don’t enjoy—much to Mike’s dismay. He is not the sports fan I am. I tell him that many men would love to have a
wife who is into sports like I am.
Anyway, the
We are heading to
School is finally out in
This is enough ramblings from the editors.
We have a very busy July planned so until next month we will sign off.

I Wanted a Car, Not a Bible
A young man was getting
ready to graduate from college. For many
months he
had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his
father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his
father had purchased the car. Finally,
on the morning of his graduation,
his father called him into his private study, told him how proud he was
to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed him a
beautifully wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with his name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money
you give me a Bible?" He stormed
out of the house, leaving the Bible
behind.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He
had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was
very old. He thought perhaps he should
go to him. He had not seen him
since that graduation day. But before he
could make arrangements, he
received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed
all of his possessions to him. He needed
to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sadness and regret filled his
heart. He began to search through his
father's important documents and
saw the Bible, new, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he
opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
His father had carefully
underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, "And if ye, being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father
which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?"
As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It
had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car
he had desired. On the tag was the date
of his graduation, and the
words... PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged
as we expected?
If this touched your heart, please pass it on!!

A Man with No Enemies
Meet Walter Barnes
Toward the end of the Sunday
service, the Minister asked, "How many
of you have forgiven your enemies?"
80% held up their
hands. The Minister then repeated his
question. All responded this time,
except one man, Walter Barnes.
"Mr. Barnes, are you
not willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have
any," he replied gruffly.
"Mr. Barnes, that is
very unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety-eight," he
replied. The congregation stood up and
clapped their hands.
"Oh, Mr. Barnes, would
you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live
ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"
The old guy tottered down
the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned around, faced the congregation,
and said simply, "I outlived all them
assholes" - and he calmly returned to his seat.

Michael, I do hope you and
Carolyn are not working too hard and that your eyes are continuing to get
better all the time. I have a neighbor who has to get the shots every
month but she plays golf and everything, it doesn't seem to bother her. I
hope you won't have to have them.
Take care and enjoy the
summer.

IT ALL BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR
Saul Alinsky
Born: Saul David Alinsky, January 30,
1909,
Died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea,
Education:
Occupation: Community organizer, writer, political
activist
Notable works: Reveille for Radicals (1946); Rules for
Radicals (1971)
Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 - June 12, 1972) was an American community
organizer and writer. He is generally
considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. He is often noted for his book Rules for Radicals.
From that book here are Saul's thoughts on how to create a social state:
There are 8 levels of
control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social
state. The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare: Control
healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty: Increase
the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are
easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for
them to live.
3) Debt: Increase the debt to an unsustainable
level. That way you are able to increase
taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control: Remove
the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to
create a police state.
5) Welfare: Take
control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)
6) Education: Take
control of what people read and listen to take control of what children learn
in school.
7) Religion: Remove
the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare:
Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more
discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of
the poor.
Any of this sound familiar?
